Play Wings of Glory Online

Game Overview

Wings of Glory throws you straight into the shaky cockpit of a WWI biplane, and let me tell you—those open cockpits weren’t just for style. One minute you’re admiring the patchwork fields below, the next you’re frantically scanning the horizon because some German ace just materialized out of the clouds like a ghost. No radar, no warnings—just your eyes and whatever bullets you’ve got left.

The campaign starts you off as some fresh-faced pilot in a British squadron, and the missions actually feel like something from 1916: escort some slow bombers, take out an observation balloon (those things burn beautifully), or just survive a chaotic dogfight where everyone’s buzzing around like angry hornets. Different planes handle wildly—the Sopwith Camel turns tight but tries to kill you in a stall, while the heavier bombers lumber along like flying bricks.

When you’re done with the campaign, Gauntlet Mode is where you go to suffer. Enemy waves keep coming until you’re a smoking crater in some French field. And if you ever think "I could design a better mission," well, you can—the editor’s surprisingly deep for a DOS game. Just expect to crash a lot before you get the hang of those wobbly flight mechanics.

It’s janky in that classic early-PC way, but there’s nothing else quite like banking over trenches with the sun in your eyes and machine guns chattering.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
